Yes, it is very easy to see popularity of data science increasing like a rocket

Data Science Trend over years

But just this graph is not only explaining the whole story. Because when we look at top 5 related queries we saw a different face of the story.

Data Science Top Five Queries

It is very obvious there is a strong interest on data science but as we see on the queries “what is data science” is at 2nd and “what is data” is in 4th place of the query list. Actually this is really great thing because data science is very important for everyone while the world is becoming more digital (E.g. agriculture)

The question is how will we make this transformation? How we will educate people about data science? By classical education? By online course? By bootcamps? or maybe digital revolution will lead us to more effective hybrid solutions?

A spraying machine was designed with this study. This machine can contuniously sets the amount of liquid chemical continuously depending on changes in leaf density, volume of the canopy, size and shapes which differs during growing season. These processes will optimise efficiency of spraying application. Ultrasonic sensors were used with this aim to define size of plant for adapting of chemical dosage octopus spraying machine was used at study. A system was designed for every arm’s of octopus machine. Three solenoid valve, one ultrasonic sensor, and electronic control unit which process and interpret the range data of ultrasonic sensor and also control solenoid valve, were added to arms. Flow rate of chemical can be set to three different value. Because every single electrovalve control different type of nozzle. Amounts of spraying chemical is set real-time by system depending on canopy volume and leaf density.

Self propelled agricultural vehicle prototype is developed for row-crop cultivation at this project. This robot is moving automaticly with legs . System can be programmed for different purposes and functions. These functions are transport, plant identification, weed detection. Basically, the robot, can go between rows, and can turn to next row at the end of the rows. The robot is working with the energy from the battery. The robot consists host computer, camera, laser scanner sensor, servo motors and arduino mega.The software at the host computer receive data from laser scanner and camera, makes all the calculations and decision-making process. In addition, some guidance can be done with voice commands . The robot is moving with legs instead of wheels. Walking of the robot is provided by sequential operations servo motors used in the legs. Servo motors are driving by arduino mega microprocessor and driver circuit. The robot can also be used with the help of an operator. In addition to the operator to be able to command in undesirable situations, robot can be controlled remotely with a joystick or voice commands.

The aim of this research was to track the growth of chicken eggs, and make a decision as to whether the egg was fertilized or not. A digital imaging system has been developed in order to take an image from six different points without damaging the egg shell. All the images were transferred to a PC and turned into binary images. All the images were reduced to 1024 pixels and fed directly into the classification algorithm. The logistic regression method was used to discriminate the fertility of the eggs. Python programming language and the scikit-learn machine learning library was used to carry out the classifications. True positive, true negative, wrong positive, and wrong negative detection numbers in the trials were 350, 344, 56, and 50, respectively. Negative indicates the egg was infertile, and positive indicated that the egg was fertilized. The model accuracy was measured as 0.8675.

But most of the existing data is raw and most of the time we need an human in ai-loop. Last week I saw a company who is working about this and I especially appreciate A Guide to Machine Learning for Computer Vision Algorithms. I think you can also follow and take a look at use cases of this company CrowdFlower
